Since Obama the GOP always throws in a token who shoots up to "front runner" for like a month or two before they move on for real. Herman Cain, Alan Keyes, and so on.

I'm not one for Washington conspiracies, but man...I remember when Ben Carson was front runner for literally no reason. Had no policy plan whatsoever. Just getting up on the stage and carrying on and on about how he overcame this that and the third. Everyone on stage refused to ever attack or criticize him. It was almost sad. Almost as though they knew he was completely unexperienced, has no idea about anything government-wise (which he would confess in interviews at the time), and they know exactly why he's here.

I remember at one point they even went around the stage and everyone "congratulated" Carson for being the front runner at the time. For real.

And for no explainable reason--with no change to his style or demeanor or rhetoric---suddenly he's in 4th place a day later.

It couldn't be more obvious his candidacy...and I'm almost willing to believe his poll numbers...was all orchestrated just to keep the GOP field from being all racist white men. Again, I HATE conspiracy theories, and I hate suggesting them as a way to explain odd things. But only because this was so inconsequential, it's so hard to believe the GOP does not manufacture this shyt just for optics.
I’ve also noticed since Obama that white people will say almost any black politician should run for president. They really can’t believe a black man was that appealing to so many people. But as soon as he and Michelle admitted they experienced racism, they got accused of being racist. All the GOP wants is a black face to say, America isn’t racist, black people are lazy, and look at me, I made it.

Once the Democratic party had Obama and successfully ran him as President, the GOP was on a timer before it slowly self destructed. Once they couldn't find an answer to Obama, they doubled down on c00ns and ultra-white supremacists, which now is costing them Midterm elections with a Dem incumbent.

Tim scott is a shameless man and hypocrite, he is fine being a token and being used by white supremacists to further their agenda. Same idiot talking about ''woke'' and how theres no racism anymore. You cant be a self respecting black person and support the republicans, they openly hate black people and try to disenfranchise us and take away our civil liberties.
He has no chance to win but he is fine being used as a token so the racists can say ''see we aren't racists heres a black guy!'' He knows the game. Shameless man

Once I saw the Tea Party pop up literally within the same week Obama was elected and Fox News going hysterical promoting these glorified klan rallies I knew that was the beginning of a real white supremacist movement coming to the GOP and some real white supremacist political figures coming into prominence.

But the crazy part is I remember all the cooky Tea Party figures that the right wing media was going after.

Including Tim Scott himself, but I remember Scott Brown, Rand Paul, Christine O'Donnell, Marco Rubio, Allen freaking West if anyone remembers that capital c00n, Michelle Bachman....

I thought these people were completely fukking nuts...but they are geniuses and honorable stalwarts of American law and society compared to the MAGA terrorists. How much the right wing has changed in just ten years and two failed elections is amazing.

Same thing another election. People announce they are running for President knowing their party will push certain candidates. Then during the nomination process they'll absorb some votes then drop out with promises of a high level government job if their party wins the Presidency. It's disturbing how many people don't see the game being played. :francis:

This dude isn't winning anything. He has everything going against him and he only raising his profile to go on the conservative punditry circuit
1. He's not married.
2. He has no charisma or charm.
3. Lacks a pedigree: IVY league or Stanford or MIT etc
4. Many black people think he's a tokenized c00n
5. Still seems like a country bumpkin
6. No crazy business success

As the other posters said: he only got on in the "GOP's were not racist, so let's elect a black token" phase
And when ppl attack him “mostly unhinged liberals” and you know they will here come the republicans like see we ain’t the racists it’s the dems.

I honestly think Tim has allowed his party to convince him he has a shot, just like Byron Donalds probably thinks he had a shot at speaker when they used him against McCarthy, talking about we want to elect the first black speaker of the house. Then when he finally voted McCarthy, they’re patting him on the head like a child who finally ate his vegetables.

Black Americans have to understand white system keeps adapting and employing different strategies. Many black people are misguided because they expect white oppression strategies of the 1960's but white oppression is using 2023 strategies.

This strategy
Asian- hate campaigns
African immigrants as the new "model" minorities

Black People ( Americans) has to to be just as adaptable and go on the counter-offensive against the white system.
